New Year's Eve: 2016

Team Targaryen all the way!!!

My bed is ready for some...

I picked-up the Gus Bus this morning because the Megatron went away for the weekend.  We met-up with Maya and Kiri...

at Lynn Canyon.

No we're talking!  They should have this everywhere.  ;-)

Kiri with our lovelies...

Back at LoLo...

we observed the last sunset of the year.

And then in the evening, Gus and I walked down to the harbour to watch the fireworks.  We actually saw two sets, one at 21:00 and then a longer one at 24:00!

The cargo ship looks like it's being attacked in this photo.  LOL!

After it was all done, we just walked away.  No crowds for us because we're old now.  ;-)

Happy New Year Everyone!!!  :-)

Flavours of the World

A bunch of us went over to Robyn and Siena's place this evening...

for a potluck of international flavours!

Carly was here,

along with Kiri and Megan!

Turns out these two are family!  Megan and I haven't seen each other in over 8 years because she moved to Montreal,

but now she's back!

Silvana and Carly could be sisters!

I had a crush on this one tonight.  Haha!  :-)

Big thanks to Robyn, Siena, and Paul for hosting such a wonderful night!!!  :-)

Shopping in Kits

The MOMMIETRON accompanied me as we shopped along West 4th Avenue this afternoon.

I finally bought the Burgundy Blundstones from the Australian Boot Company!  :-)

An Agosti Christmas

Anna and Anthony had us over again this year!

She prepared her homemade perogies too!

A shot of our wonderful host and hostess...

I think we ate the house.  ;-)

Gratitude to Anna and Anthony for a great night!!!  :-)

Christmas Singing

I dropped-off the MOMMIETRON at Deer Lake School this morning.

The Seventh-Day Adventists had a combined church service today.

Even this little cutie got up to sing by herself!  :-)

In the evening, there was even more singing!

I brought the pizza (from Corduroy Pie Company) and Shellaine and Ron hosted.

It looks like I'm in the back wearing red, but it's not.  It's Ron!  Haha!

Big thanks to Shellaine and Ron for having us over!!!  :-)

VanDusen Botanical Garden: Festival of Lights 2015

The MOMMIETRON and I decided to finally check this out on Christmas Eve!

The Festival of Lights...

It was our first time here.

Poor Mom, her right-eye has been swollen from an allergic reaction.  :-(

There sure were a lot of decorative lights!

It was also packed with so many people!

It's a good thing we bought tickets online because the line-up for tickets was long.

We couldn't stop taking photos.  LOL!

The only other time I've been here was for work.

The garden is beautiful without the lights,

but indeed this is impressive!

Mom was matching the lights.

Hehe...

As beautiful as it was, the crowds were starting to get on my nerves.

I must be getting old.  Haha!

The circle was complete, so it was time to make like a tree...  ;-)

Merry Christmas Everyone!!!  :-)

Happy Birthday Randy!!!

We were supposed to do this, but it was too damn busy tonight!

Instead, we walked over to The Lennox Pub for some food and drinks!  :-)

Happy Birthday Randy!!!
